Had to take my husband to be tested. He has Alzheimer's, didn't tell me until yesterday that he had a sore throat, had it for a couple of days. Yesterday, sneezing, blowing nose. Today coughing.. so we went. No fever, chills. His oxygen is good, no chesty cough. He may have gotten our little grandsons cold. That poor baby has been sick and coughing for a month. They've taken him to the Dr. twice. Just a cold. . Anyway, guess I'll buy an oximeter. NP said it was wise to bring him over for the test. Told me what else to watch for. Tests are taking 2 to 3 days, as many of you know.

Oh no. I hope you get good results and it's just a cold. :O Alzheimers is very rough. My best friends family has a lot of it.

I hope he is well soon.

Fingers crossed, Cynthia! It must be hard to keep someone in Alzheimer's safe from the virus.

Today I got an invitation from UCLA to begin the vaccination process. I'll just continue with the county that's been operating for a month but the UCLA system is HUGE in SoCal so if they're ready to vaccinate 65+ that will be another big piece. Kaiser has also already been well underway for a month or so.

This shouldn't leave too many in the first eligible age group that want to be vaccinated and who will be able to access computers. There's outreach to the folks who won't or can't use the internet but I think that will be mostly Johnson & Johnson vaccine that doesn't require follow-up when it's ready.

I hope this means they can all move on to the next younger group very soon! My remaining 2 kids are in their 30s. Can't wait until they're safe too!

You must not spend much time on Reddit, LOL.

No thank god, this forum is enough.

Here is one of the things I read. It works different than the other 2

It is really a vaccine while the others are not true vaccines.

Right, they're mRNA instructions... But they're vaccines still in that they do what a vaccine does, just indirectly.
Also mRNA instruction injection was never gonna sell. XD

No because they are actually classified as an injectable medical device.
